Home to more than 24 million people and
numerous futuristic skyscrapers, Shanghai is
China’s largest metropolis and one of the most
influential global financial centers of the 21st
century.
Sitting at the opening of the Yangtze River along the
eastern coast of China, Shanghai’s strategic location has
made it one of the country’s most important hubs for
foreign trade since the 1800s. With more than 200,000
expats living in the city today, Shanghai has been home to
foreigners from the West since the end of the First Opium
War. Signings of several treaties – the most prominent
being the Treaty of Nanking and the Treaty of Whampoa
(in 1842 and 1844, respectively) – allowed the Brits, French
and Americans to carve out ‘concessions’ outside of the
walled city of Shanghai.
During the late 1920s and 1930s, Shanghai was
considered the most prosperous city of East Asia and one
of the leading financial hubs of the region. Its economic
influence, however, declined over the next few decades
as a result of the Japanese invasion and the Chinese
Communist Revolution. It wasn’t until Deng Xiaoping’s
introduction of economic reforms near the end of the
20th century that led to the city’s rapid redevelopment
and the return of foreign investment, as well as its rising
prominence on the global stage.
One of the fastest-growing cities in the world since
the 1990s, Shanghai’s modern Pudong skyline is marked
with three of China’s tallest buildings – the Jin Mao Tower,
Shanghai World Financial Center and Shanghai Tower –
together with the iconic Oriental Pearl Tower. All of these
are juxtaposed with Art Deco- and neoclassical-style
buildings along the Bund on the west side of the Huangpu
River and in the former French Concession area.
In addition to its economic triumphs in recent years,
Shanghai also has an increasingly vibrant arts and culture
scene. With dozens of art galleries and museums dotting
the city, travelers can spend hours strolling through
exhibitions at places like Power Station of Art or Long
Museum along West Bund, or take in the beauty of
traditional Chinese art forms at the Shanghai Museum
right in the heart of the city.
With its rich history and unique geographical location,
Shanghai’s traditional cuisine is influenced by the
neighboring provinces of Zhejiang and Jiangsu – generally
characterized by thick, dark sauces and a preference
for sweet flavors even in savory dishes. The city’s status
in the global F&B scene has been on the rise in recent
years, partly thanks to the launch of the Shanghai edition
of Michelin Guide 2017. One can easily find a plethora
of cuisines – both domestic and international – served
next to one another in the city’s many shopping and
entertainment complexes.
Here are our top recommendations for the top spots in
the city for sightseeing, our favorite local dishes, and some
of Shanghai’s best hotels. EAST
